I've talked to student of human nature and the mac daddy of "luxury beliefs", Rob Henderson about the state of dating today.

We chat about the role of evolutionary psychology - interesting factoids or unbreakable iron destiny? - about the cascading to hell effects of app dating algorithms, about polyamory as a luxury belief, about the probability that we'll see an incel-led insurgency, and a lot more.

His recommended subversive thinker is Roger V. Gould with the book "Collision of Wills", where he "argues that human conflict is more likely to occur in symmetrical relationships—among friends or social equals—than in hierarchical ones, wherein the difference of social rank between the two individuals is already established.
